Weird? Pretty much.
Arjan:
Where I live three days above 30 Celsius is a heat wave. Officially.

I had to spray the animals with water twice a day to cool them off. Three times yesterday (11:00, 12:30 and 2:00) but otherwise I finished everything before the temp reached 38.
Anyway, heatwave is over. Today is 33°C. :D

So glad your heat wave is over.
What do people do, when it is that hot? Like you, get up really early, get some work done and then what? Siesta until evening?
And does it cool down at night?
Maybe one day I'll visit in winter, lol.
@Arjan: dito

It's really quite pleasant today. In my area, summer temp is 35-39. Only above 40 degrees is noteworthy.

Well, if you work outside like I do, then it's standard procedure from March - September. Work from well before sunrise if possible, get back home at 10,lunch and siesta till 2-3 hours before sundown then finish anything left to do before sun down. If you're farming, irrigation starts at midnight. Which will save water and gas, as well as spare you a heatstroke. If you work indoors, then it's business as usual. In my town, if you walk the street at noon you'll rarely meet another person during a heatwave. And yes, it cools down at night. During the heatwave or was 24-29 at night. Other than that it's maybe 19 degrees.
European tourists here wear t-shirts and shorts in winter, while we wear sweaters and jackets. Lol. It rarely goes below 15°C in winter.

Yes, horribly.
Also for a European like me going to Egypt in summer would be suicide by climate. I have been a week in Dubai for work in December and it was like going from the airco in the hotel to the airco in the car to the airco at work. The heat was murderous but we did swim a bit in the evening after work.
Dina:
Yes, I do not think going to Egypt in Summer is a good plan, but i would love to go there in Winter.
I went to Mexico, in the South, for 3 months (this was years ago). When "Winter was coming" there were warnings about taking care of yourself, and cold or flu medicines. People were beginning to wear heavier clothing while I remained in t-shirt (with only a light jacket or long-sleeved t-shirt in the evening. I only wore my true jacket in Mexico city (which was more in the North) and in a short stay I did in another town which was at some height over the sea level (San Cristobal de las Casas. A beautiful, beautiful place).
